I think its a fuel "issue" never had it down that far before, 1/8 tank. Hopefully I just ran out. While embarrassing it also means nothing is broken. I had been suspicious of water in there too and maybe i was picking it up when i got that low, but like I said, hopefully adding some fuel will get us on our way. I didn't have time to try it last night.
Check fuel filter as well. I ran ours down this summer lower than it has been since we owned it. It would bog down above 3K rpm, and get worse at lower speeds. I changed the filter and it ran as good as always.
Thanks I may try that. My fuel filter on this particular boat is in the tank and is a pain in the butt. I did replace it early this year so hopefully its good but I could see picking up extra junk towards the bottom as you said.
